• Like You, Like Me by JENNY SUE KOSTECKI-SHAW. Tulsi and Vanessa live on separate continents — one in the mountains in North America, and the other beside the sea in Africa. By exchanging letters, they learn that they both have prankster brothers, love music, and collect treasures from nature. Their daily sights and sounds may be different, but their feelings about their experiences hold many similarities.
• Chicken Little and the Very Long Race by SAM WEDELICH. Chicken Little dislikes competition. So when a marathon — featuring local-record holder, Hare! — is announced in the barnyard, she doesn't understand all the fuss. Until she watches her brood fall beak over claw for the gamey Hare and ditch their training in favor of his smoothies, sweatbands, and sneakers! Can Chicken Little prove this frontrunner's methods are phony or will she have to wing it and join the race?
